larger tire was created by kz1k

i was wondering what swing arms would either bolt on or need minor fabrication to install on my frame. im just looking to use a larger tire and slightly stretch the rear. ill be doing some searching, but while i am throw out some ideas.

how about the gs1100? it seems ly kz swingarm mounting spread is 9.25".

it seems like the bracing on the busa arm gets in the way of the frame a little,but the brace could be removed or altered to work.the tl 1000 arm is also a good swap.check out roynor's build thread he used a tl swinger.

bb, in roynors thread he decided noy to use the tl...instead he went with the busa arm offset.

the older gixxers without under or overbrace are what you are looking for.
late 80's early 90's i think.

Mine is a 1995 GSXR 750 with a massive overbrace. You'll need to go earlier than that or cut the brace off if you plan on running twin shocks.
